Act4Me

Our Mission is to provide financial assistance for families of children with neurological disorders and disabilities in Miami county so that they can receive the necessary therapies to assist them with their delays. These therapies are otherwise inaccessible to these families due to insufficient medical coverage or lack of insurance. Although there are no cures for these disorders, Speech, Occupational and Physical therapies can drastically improve the quality of their lives.

Developmental delays are usually caused by a variety of life-long conditions categorized as developmental disabilities (DD). Developmental disabilities include, but aren't limited to, autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, strokes and all conditions also referred to as 'special needs'. Therapy helps these kids build the skills they will need to live their life to the fullest.
